Hi experts,
When I had my lady at the vet the other day the vet gave me a sample of Hills Feline t/d and said she (the cat, not the vet
) should only be on something like this rather than the wet + (regular) dry food combo I am feeding her. I was wondering what the considered opinion on this is - I've read in here many comments about a strict dry diet causing urinary tract problems and the like (I mentioned this to the vet and she said it ns't really an issue these days). She also touted 50% less stool as a side benefit.
I'd be quite happy to switch to just dry as I don't have to worry about food going off if she doesn't want to eat straight away etc. I don't want to do the wrong thing by my kitty and I wonder if perhaps my vet is acting as a bit fo an agent for Hills - you know, pushing the product on the side rather than what might be appropriate for my kitty (I don't mean that in a rude way - it's the first time I've been to the vet since I'm a new owner. It just seemed a bit like a side sales pitch to me - perhaps hoping I'll come back and buy regular supplies from them or something).
I'd be interested in the general opinion from people here...
